A Sturdy Ring For A Sturdy Girl

"Her"

Well "Him" really wants me to try and write even though I hate to write, so I thought I would talk about the ring. When Him and me went to go get the ring it wasn't like most couples go to get a ring. I know nothing about jewelry, stones, cuts of diamond, or anything of the sort and I'm pretty sure Him is as clueless as me.

We went to a little fancy antique shop where we looked around for a while until one of the people finally pulled out a set of three very small and simple (delicate) rings. They weren't too big or gaudy and just what I had wanted. One of them had a white pearl in the center with a red ruby on either side. It gave Him and I an idea and we decided to get me a black pearl with a sapphire on each side. However, it turns out that I can't handle a pearl since they are soft jewels. I would probably bang my hand against things too much or loose it since it needs to be taken off to shower and wash dishes.

So the ring we got was a bit sturdier, a sapphire in the center with two small diamonds on either side. But, to tell the truth I think I've already put it through a little wear and tear. The white gold covering is already coming off to a shiny yellow and one of the little diamonds looks off center. So when Him and I go shopping for the keeper ring I think we're going to go for some platinum and a very strong setting.
